This article is an excerpt from a research that, from a psychoanalytic perspective, listened to women considering what was said and what was silenced about their maternity. Contacted through a social and professional network, the women-mothers were interviewed by considering the ethics and the following concepts of psychoanalysis: unconscious, free association, and transference. Among the results, it was possible to find the phenomenon of speech error, in which the words and expressions that are used repeatedly in speech pass through the discourse, filling absences, reducing discontinuities, searching for the lost meaning. We use the word "unsaid" to characterize these expressions that contradict social ideas, and, or, what is expected from these women by themselves, and also by others, for their maternities. In the plot of the unsaid, it is possible to find affections expressed by different psychic instances, in the construction of each woman with the feminine and maternity.

Keywords : Maternity; Feminine; Psychoanalysis; Affection; Social ideals.
